  • Patent number: 9626651
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for automated social networking for e-meetings. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for automated social networking for e-meetings is provided. The method includes monitoring content provided to an e-meeting managed by an e-meeting server executing in memory of a host computer. The method further includes detecting a name in the monitored content and comparing the detected name to names in a contact list for a social networking system executing externally to the e-meeting. Finally, the method includes triggering generation of a social networking introduction for the name to different participants to the e-meeting in response to matching the detected name to a name in the contact list.

  • Patent number: 9563335
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems for suggesting uniform resource locators located at previously unknown hosts to users. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to record uniform resource locators (URLs) associated with web resources accessed by a user and usage details pertaining to the user's usage of the web resources. Responsive to receiving a request to access a hostname not stored in the recorded URLs, embodiments of the present invention can be used to receive URLs associated with web resources available at the hostname and assign weight values to the received URLs based, at least in part, on the usage details and a similarity between the received URLs and the recorded URLs. Embodiments of the present invention can then be used to generate a URL suggestion from the received URLs based, at least in part, on the assigned weight values.

  • Publication number: 20160321405
    Abstract: Systems and methods for data analysis include constructing patient traces as a set of medical events for each patient of a patient population, the patient population being segmented based on patient outcomes. Medical events in one or more of the patient traces are reduced to provide processed patient traces. The processed patient traces are clustered to identify a cluster of patient traces. A process model is mined, using a processor, representing an aggregation of treatment pathways in the patient traces from the cluster. Patterns from patient traces are identified that are discriminative of patient outcomes. At least one of the patterns is represented with respect to the process model to identify treatment pathways correlated with the patient outcomes.

  • Patent number: 9459769
    Abstract: Input is received to store information to access content displayed within a browser as a bookmark. A bookmark properties form is generated to include fields in which environments are identified as corresponding to the bookmark. Input is received that includes a first URL corresponding to the label of a first bookmark within a first environment. The bookmark is stored by including in the properties form, a label of the bookmark, the first environment corresponding to the bookmark, and the first URL corresponding to the first environment. A second URL is received that corresponds to the label of the first bookmark, but within a second environment, and includes the second environment in the properties form as corresponding to the label of the bookmark, and includes the second URL in the properties form as corresponding to the second environment, wherein the first URL differs from the second URL.

  • Patent number: 9426163
    Abstract: Protecting sensitivity of information in a shared collaborative space on a computer network includes associating a set of sensitivity levels to sets of users and to sets of data elements. Access by each user to the shared collaborative space may be restricted to those data elements that have the same sensitivity level as of the user. Where multiple users join a single session, only data elements having a lowest common sensitivity level are made accessible by the users of the session.

  • Publication number: 20160210379
    Abstract: In an approach to aligning an event trace data with a hierarchical declarative process model, a computer processor retrieves an event trace data containing at least one activity and a hierarchical declarative process model, wherein the hierarchical declarative process model includes at least one hierarchical level that represents a phase. The computer processor determines at least one phase for each of the at least one activity of the event trace data. The computer processor creates a phase tree for each of the at least one phase. The computer processors aligns the phase tree for each of the at least one phase with each phase of the hierarchical declarative process model.

  • Publication number: 20160180253
    Abstract: Methods and systems for refining a process model include determining whether the process model is too dense or too sparse. A predictive model is learned from execution traces to predict an outcome. The predictive model is modified responsive to the determination of whether the process model is too dense or too sparse. A refined process model is refined from updated traces based on attributes present in the modified predictive model.

  • Patent number: 9372736
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a representation of an execution trace include identifying at least one execution trace of a business process model, the business process model including parallel paths where a path influences an outcome of a decision. Path information of the business process model is determined using a processor, the path information including at least one of task execution order for each parallel path, task execution order across parallel paths, and dependency between parallel paths. A path representation for the at least one execution trace is selected based upon the path information to determine a representation of the at least one execution trace.
